Spun Out: Shane Warne the Unauthorised Biography of a Cricketing Genius

Near fine condition. Bantam Press, 2006. First edition-first printing(1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2). Black hardback(gilt lettering to the spine) with Dj(small nicks and two creases on the edges of the Dj cover), both in near fine condition. Illustrated with colour, b/w photos.

Nice and clean book with light shelf wear on the Dj cover. 546pp including References, index. Price un-clipped. A collectable first edition-first printing. Heavy book. Product Description: Shane Warne is a cricketing genius. At first there were nerves and chubbiness. Then came vicious spitting legbreaks, followed by fame and flippers. For a long while, there were women, then a bookmaker, then diet pills, then more women - and headlines, always headlines. Now, he has come out the other end, his bluff and bluster and mischief and innocence somehow intact. The man who in 2000 was rated among the five greatest cricketers of the 20th century was, in 2005, bowling better than ever. When Shane Warne likened his life to a soap opera he was selling himself short. His story is part fairytale, part pantomime, part hospital drama, part adults'-only romp, part glittering awards ceremony. He has taken a Test hat-trick, won the Man-of-the-Match prize in a World Cup final and been the subject of endless press speculation. He was the first cricketer to reach 600 Test wickets. He has swatted more runs than any other test player without making a hundred, and is probably the wiliest captain Australia never had. He has revived the art of legspin and electrified the game. For all that, Warne's greatest feat is perhaps his latest. Returning from a one-year ban for swallowing forbidden diuretics, he swept aside 26 Sri Lankan batsmen in three tests, and the following year scalped an astonishing 40 wickets in a thrilling Ashes series where he alone seemed to stand between England and victory. Shane Warne is the best bowler the world has ever seen. He is a sportsman with an extraordinary God-given talent, a magician who mesmerises his opponents. He is also a kid who won't grow up and a man whose personal life teeters between tragedy and farce. Spun Out is his story, guts and glory, warts and all. n nFrom the Inside Flap nAt first there were nerves and chubbiness. Then came wild soaring leg breaks, followed by fame and flippers. For a long while there were women, then a bookmaker, then diet pills, then more women ? and headlines, always headlines. Now he has come out the other end, his bluff and bluster and mischief and innocence somehow intact. The man who in 2000 was rated among the five greatest cricketers of the twentieth century was, in 2005, bowling better than ever. n nWhen Shane Warne likened his life to a soap opera he was selling himself short. His story is part fairytale, part pantomime, part hospital drama, part adults-only romp, part glittering awards ceremony. He has taken a Test hat-trick, won Man of the Match in a World Cup final and been the subject of endless press speculation. He was the first cricketer to reach six hundred Test wickets. He has swatted more runs than any other Test player without making a hundred, and is probably the wiliest captain Australia never had. He revived legspin, thought to be extinct, and is now pre-eminent in a game so transformed that we sometimes wonder where the next champion fast bowlers will come from. n nFor all that, Warne's greatest feat is perhaps his latest. Returning from a one-year hiatus for swallowing forbidden diuretics, he swept aside twenty-six Sri Lankan batsmen in three Tests, and the following year scalped an astonishing forty wickets in what sometimes appeared to be a lone stand in a thrilling Ashes series. More than ever he relies on his two oldest friends: excruciating accuracy and an exquisite legbreak. Except that he now controls the degree of spin ? and mixes it ? at will. Like the great classical painters, he has stumbled upon the art of simplicity. His bowling has never been simpler, or more effective, or lovelier to look at. Near Fine/Near Fine. ISBN: 9780593056622

VGC. CollinsWillow, 2003. First edition-first printing(1 3 5 7 9 8 6 4 2). Grey hardback(silver lettering on the front cover and spine, light shelf wear on the edges of the cover) with Dj(two small creases, nick and scratches on the Dj cover), both in VGC. Illustrated with colour, b/w photos. Nice and clean pages but slightly tainted on the outer edges, some creases and nicks on the edges of the pages, mark on the edge of page 157. The book is in VGC with light shelf wear on the edges of the pages. 404pp including Career record, index. Price un-clipped. First edition-first printing. Product Description: With endless newspaper column inches devoted to one of the most talked about men in the world, it seems that we know everything there is to know about David Beckham. Or do we? This is Beckham's life story in his own words. The book deals with his complex relationship with United boss Alex Ferguson and looks at how he handles the pressure of playing alongside some of the most volatile footballers of his generation, from the likes of Cantona, Schmeichel and Keane. It tells the England story, from being vilified by the nation before returning as the prodigal son and almost single-handedly guiding his country as captain to the 2002 World Cup Finals. From Beckham himself, we gain an insight into the family man behind the famous footballer, the international model and fashion leader. He describes how he first met and then married ex-Spice girl Victoria Adams and the upbringing of their two children Brooklyn and Romeo. He goes on to discuss how his family's every step is monitored by a posse of newshounds and paparazzi. He also tells of the influence of his parents, growing up as a shy youngster in the family home and how their subsequent split affected him. The book was written with the assistance of Tom Watt.
